Hey Keith, you feeling alright over there? Seems like you're still stuck in 2003, or you got one hell of a memory bank

[jenks]

Nothing! We are an in-house supplier and we are caught in the middle of a spending freeze. We aren't that expensive either, just time and material.

[david]

Look for Country Bob steak sauce bottle with engraving all around the bottle. Thats me.

 

Gotta love it when a plan comes together.

played alot of mjwin. next week there probably wont be enough hours in a day to finish what they need (you have to love just in time schedualing and delivery). but for this week mjwin. I am so bored.

Nothing special :

Molds ,electrodes ,some prototyping .

Routine work .

No challenge .

 

Why ,one prototype was real fun :

Plastic part with inside hole of complex profile

140 mm dia 250 mm deep with undercut surfaces

The main tool was 35 mm 3 round inserts 12 mm dia Seco mill on the self made holder .

The tooling was 270 mm height .

Undercuts I milled with surface->contour with a slot mill .

3 main setups and a set-up on the indexing head to turn the part by hand every 10 degrees (I don`t have the 4`th axis ),and 6 complex form pockets on the outer Cylinder .

A nice part to look on ,I have no right to show it ,sorry .
